Commented earlier that I had two Muhles, the first a Rytmo black fibre, first type and then a V2 Silvertip Fibre. The black fibre is still my favourite. Then you tell me there's a V2 black fibre so I've now had to order an HJM version too to see if it's even better than the Rytmo.
Synthetic brushes? Geez.... The next thing you know, some guy will come along and claim to have invented a razor that doesn't need stropping or honing. Some people will jump on any band wagon that comes along. If you're shaving with anything other than a clam shell, you aren't as "traditional" as you think.
